Huh? I'm pretty sure he wrote 2 of them.

I'm not big on the early Scott Shaw issues. I remember the Sally-gets-roboticized one being all right but the interior art's not nearly as good as that cover. The Tails miniseries...I don't really remember much except he used that bathysphere from the Game Gear game.

War Within WAS really good! I thought the Evangelion comics were a neat window into a very narrow window of time. "How do we sell things in america? They print manga really large in small volumes, right?" Also, the travel guide was a regift from... Disposable Ninja, I think? I was trying to fill the box.

I'm a little upset the Beats don't work. I tested them before I mailed them and was super happy that they would probably get use finally! They are wireless Bluetooth things, so make sure they're charged if they lost it somehow. If you can't get it working, I'll get a substitute somehow :(

The Duke Nukem bust was from my "free" copy of Duke Nukem Forever super duper edition. I regret to this day not keeping the preorder I had from 1999 instead of using it, but they did upgrade to the special edition. It's resin, but kind of nice.

I am so sad they stopped printing single-issue Manga because it meant there's no way to get large-format Blade of the Immortal, i.e. large-format Hiroaki Samura art. The issue where Hyakurin takes on a stack of Itto-Ryu warriors more or less solo (around the #70 mark, IIRC) is one of the most beautiful issues of any comic I own, from any author, nation, or genre.

I would like new headphones for my PC, but how do I USE them? I get that they're wireless, but don't they need a USB thingy to beam the signal to the headphones? Is the USB wire just for charging or is it also an adapter?

Yes, you can pair them to your PC/phone whatever using bluetooth, but there is also a traditional 3.5mm plug there as well. So with a male to male 3.5mm cord, you can use them with whatever traditional audio device you like! I'd offer to send one to you, but it would probably be cheaper to go to Canadian radio shack (?) than for me to mail you a stupid cord.

Today's a great day and nothing could possibly go wro... Well, this is a letdown.

HOWEVER THERE IS STILL LOTS OF THINGS STILL SOMEHOW CONTAINED WITHIN!Like an actually *good* Amiibo! Hooray! A replacement for a stolen copy of *one of my favorite fantasy books ever*! A movie that I've never seen! And assorted cards from Mother 2 and 3 and some bad comics! A symbol I don't recognize made from bead art!

And... the fuck is this?Apparently a... view lens? You guys will NEVER guess what it's a picture of.

Alrighty, looks like my package issss really close to my apartment. It's being held at this convenience store outside the Projects, but when I checked in this morning, the guy said it wasn't there, and that it was likely out on delivery. Apparently the UPS guy has come by my apartment at like 2pm on a work day to see if I can sign for it, found me not there, and left with the package.

I'm going to drop in to that convenience store UPS storage area thing after work today and see if it's back.

I can't speak for Pokeymans but I like Kochalka, and Boom's kids' comics are among the best titles currently being published (I haven't gotten around to reading Backstagers except for the previews but I liked the previews; Lumberjanes and Goldie Vance are fantastic.)

Why does everyone in this thread keep bagging on good comics?

(But Buge was right; I looked it up and none of those three Sonic comics was by Penders. One's Shaw, one's DeCesare/Mawhinney, and one's Gallagher/Manak. Serves me right for relying on my memory of comics from over 20 years ago.)
